If love took the form of a door, Senku would never leave. If love took the form of spring, you would be kissing dandelions into the breeze.
Maybe if you did it enough times, Senku would grow curious from watch...

Senku already knew beforehand that traveling with a person with no knowledge of modern history was going to be a bit of a hassle.
But when he realized Kohaku was still wary of him, it somehow relieved him knowing that she wouldn't try anything weird against him.
That being said, Senku can't sleep because of how you've spent the past few hours answering Kohaku's questions that caused more and more strings of curiosity to rise up.
"Amazing... So people back then used these weapons that can hurt someone with just a finger?" Kohaku's eyes glimmered in the fire, her daggers long forgotten, as well as sleep.
"Mhm, those are called guns. It's mostly the police and the military who are eligible to use them. It's pretty dangerous." With the mention of dangerous weapons, Kohaku started to become more and more excited at the idea.
"So with this thing called science, we can create a lot of inventions right?" Kohaku recalled. "Not just weapons?"
You nod at this, a small chuckle left your lips at the thought that it wasn't only fighting that filled Kohaku's mind. "Everything you see here is science, Kohaku."
Her eyes widened at this knowledge. "Really?!"
"Yeah! Fascinating right? Even our body, hair, eyes, It's science."
"Even this fire?" Kohaku pointed at the bonfire.
"Yes, science."
"What about the trees?"
"Science."
"How about the moon?" She then pointed at the glowing celestial body above you all, something that was passed down in their village.
"It's science! Jeez, get some shut-eye will you?" Senku turns towards the two of you, eyes tired as if he hasn't been able to find a moment of peace.
"Kohaku was just curious. I believe she deserves an answer to her questions." You chuckled nervously as Senku sat up, giving up from trying to sleep.
"Can't that wait in the morning?"
"Oh, by the way," Kohaku turns to you, completely ignoring Senku's complaints. "It's already settled, right? That you'll fight that long-haired man."
The bitter memories of what just happened earlier came flooding your mind. "After what happened, I can't find anything he does or say to be left unjustified." You lean your back against a tree trunk. "But I know that's not a decision for me, I'll do what Senku agrees on."
"Yeah, that's why I want to create the Kingdom of Science. First of all, we really need manpower." Senku mutters aloud, this catches the attention of Kohaku.
"I already decided that I'll help the two of you," Kohaku stood up with her daggers. "The village has tons of people to help."
"Of course, no doubt the lioness has a pride with her."
